All Buildings have a story to tell.  Some of those stories are buried deeply in the walls, floorboards, attics, and even bell towers.  Preservation Architect, James O. McGhee will share his experience using forensic architecture methods to paint a vivid restoration design of one of Bluffton’s historic treasures.  James will describe what surfaced in his investigations and why it is so important.

Doors open at 5:30 PM for heavy hors d'oeuvres.  Lecture starts at 6:00 PM.  A portion of the proceeds will go to the restoration of the historic CCAMEC.
